Psalm 1:1 NKJV

1 Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;

Proverbs 12:26 NKJV

26 The righteous should choose his friends carefully,
For the way of the wicked leads them astray.

Proverbs 15:22 NKJV

22 Without counsel, plans go awry,
But in the multitude of counselors they are established.

Hey there! Here’s another word of wisdom for you. Be wise with who you hangout with.

While we don’t give the holier-than-thou attitude to the world, we should learn to abstain from some of the worldly activities that they do because we are the temple of the Holy Spirit and ambassadors of Christ.

Why would you want to party at a bar when we have singing and dancing in the Father’s house? Give up gossiping and speak well of people instead—see the gold in them. Drinking? No need. We have the Holy Scriptures to quench our thirst. Hungry? Haha… Jesus has blessed us with such amazing pastors who feed us the rhema word of God every Sunday.

So, hangout with godly counsel. People who point you and remind you of Jesus, amen!
